Files in Different Folders

I have an assembly that uses parts in various folders in my local drive. What is the best way to have Pro-e view the various folders?

Thank you in advance.
 
You need to add search paths in a config.pro file.

For generic search paths that are needed for most Pro/E sessions I put them in the <loadpoint>\text\config.pro file.

For project specific folders I add search paths to a config.pro file in the project directory where the assembly/drawing files live.

You can also tell Pro/E to load a search path file but that always seemed more trouble than it's worth.

search_path C:\path\to\my\parts

Thank you for the assistance. After routing the search path to the respective folder Pro-e did find my components.
